After Walker's failures, it's Burke's turn

Scott Walker's had four years to do it his way. From the 250,000 jobs broken promise to the disastrous WEDC, Walker has stumbled badly. Yet he blindly touts his "reforms" while Wisconsin becomes so polarized that neighbors/kinfolk don't speak to each other.

Wisconsin is clearly not "back on." Even Walker's "successes" are failures. He's pitted the private sector against public employees, using personal resentment politics to destroy collective bargaining. Walker's made political patronage a science, appointing unqualified people while surrounding himself with lawbreakers. But he sure manages to muzzle the media.

Walker starves public schools but increases vouchers. His tax "cuts" disproportionately benefit the wealthy. He dismantles environmental protections, ceding local control to corporations. He cruelly rejects the ACA; won't support raising the minimum wage; forces women to have unnecessary medical procedures; suppresses voting.

Wisconsin is clearly broken, and it's going to take a woman to fix it. Meet Wisconsin's own Wonder Woman, Mary Burke, an intelligent, accomplished, honest leader. As our first female governor, Mary will restore our state to greatness. She'll work with the private sector to put Wisconsin on a healthy path to economic growth, not grovel before wealthy campaign donors Scott Walker needs to pursue the presidency.
